Dear Beverly

Stopped by to say hello.

             Smile.  You remembered me.

Always.

Found this of you with the other Beverly at Dodger Stadium in 2008.
Doing what you loved best, watching your boys play baseball.
Funny, I taught you to keep score in 1972 and you showed me how to play dominoes.
I think you got the better of the deal.
Always found it a bit odd that a woman would enjoy keeping score of a baseball game so much.
I wonder what that says about you?

Got a tune for you today ... enjoy.

Link:   Jackson Browne: Doctor My Eyes

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can?

Doctor, my eyes, tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long

'Cause I have wandered through this world
And as each moment has unfurled
I've been waiting to awaken from these dreams
People go just where they will
I never noticed them until I got this feeling
That it's later than it seems

Doctor, my eyes, tell me what you see
I hear their cries, just say if it's too late for me

Doctor, my eyes, cannot see the sky
Is this the price for having learned how not to cry

Dear Beverly

You've been on my mind and in my heart, dropped in to say hello.

            Oh Doll, you remembered me.

Always.

Was outside pondering the nature of things while waiting for my lovely bride to return home from work.
The sky was clear, no moon, dark ... the stars were bright.
Was thinking about you and what it all means.
A shooting star, I'll take that as a sign.

Have a tune for you today.  Enjoy.

Link:  John Denver: When The River Meets The Sea

When the mountain touches the valley
All the clouds are taught to fly
As our souls will leave this land most peacefully
Though our minds be filled with questions
In our hearts we'll understand
When the river meets the sea

Like a flower that has blossomed
In this dry and barren sand
We are born and born again most gracefully
Plus the winds of time will take us
With a sure and steady hand
When the river meets the sea

Patience my brothers
And patience my son
In that sweet and final hour
Truth and justice will be done

Like a baby when it is sleeping
In its mother's loving arms
What a newborn baby dreams is a mystery (a mystery)

But this life will find a purpose
And in time we'll understand
When the river meets the sea
When the river meets the almighty sea

Dear Beverly

Stopped in to say hello ... you've been on my mind and in my heart.

             Mi Amor, you remember me.

Always.

So many secrets because no one close to you shared.
So many secrets because people close to you were divided.
So many secrets because he was the puppet master.
So many of your friends were in the dark about what was happening.

Can't undo any of it.

Tune for you today ... enjoy.

Link:   Neil Young: Heart of Gold

I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold.
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.

I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean
for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind,
it's such a fine line
That keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.
Keeps me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old.

Keep me searching
for a heart of gold
You keep me searching
for a heart of gold
And I'm growing old.
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold.

Dear Beverly

Just stopped in to say hello.

           Smile.   You remembered me.

Always.

Other truths are slowly revealed.
People speak out, share and secrets are brought to the light of day.
If only sooner, how different a world for you?

Have a tune for you today ... enjoy.

Link:   Linda Eder: Once Upon A Dream

When it's all began,
We knew there'd be a price...

Once upon a dream,
I was lost in love's embrace.
There I found a perfect place,
Once upon a dream.

Once there was a time,
Like no other time before,
Hope was still an open door,
Once upon a dream.

And I was unafraid,
The dream was so exciting!
But now I see it fade...
And I am here alone!

Once upon a dream,
You were heaven-sent to me,
Was it never meant to be?
Was it just a dream?

Could we begin again!...
Once upon a dream.

Dear Beverly

-->

Happened by to say hello and tell you how much you are on my mind and in my heart.

          Mi Amor.  You remembered me.

Always.

It comes in waves. 

Sadness.  Anger.  Sadness.

It is not my nature to hate,

but there it is each day, hate.

Forgiveness is supposed to cleanse the soul.

Perhaps.   But how can I forgive the unforgivable?

Why the control?   

Why the stalking?

Why the torments?   

Were you an object to be owned?

Is that the nature of a sociopath?

Is this like hating a snake?  Pointless. 

It is, after all, the snake’s nature to be the way it is.

The world seems so empty; lonely … these days. 

Hating makes it all the more so.

Have a tune for you …

Link:   Dolly Parton: I Will Always Love You

If I should stay
Well, I would only be in your way
And so I'll go, and yet I know
That I'll think of you each step of my way
And I will always love you
I will always love you

Bitter-sweet memories
That's all I have, and all Im taking with me
Good-bye, oh, please don't cry
Cause we both know that Im not
What you need
I will always love you
I will always love you

And I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh, I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you, I will always love

I, I will always, always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you

Dear Beverly

Dropped by to say hello.

            Smile.   You remembered me.

Always.

 Found this ... high school senior.

              Oh Nooooo ... look at that hair!

Have a tune for you today ... enjoy.

Link:   The Moody Blues: Nights In White Satin

Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.

'Cos I love you, yes I love you, oh how I love you.

Gazing at people, some hand in hand,
Just what I'm going through they can't understand.
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end.

And I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.

Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
Letters I've written, never meaning to send.
Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before.
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore.

'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.
'Cos I love you, yes I love you,
Oh how I love you, oh how I love you.

Breath deep
The gathering gloom
Watch lights fade
From every room
Bedsitter people
Look back and lament
Another day's useless
Energy spent

Impassioned lovers
Wrestle as one
Lonely man cries for love
And has none
New mother picks up
And suckles her son
Senior citizens
Wish they were young

Cold hearted orb
That rules the night
Removes the colours
From our sight
Red is gray and
Yellow white
But we decide
Which is right
And
Which is an Illusion

Dear Beverly

Came by to say hello. 

You’ve been on my mind and in my heart.

           Mi Amor.   You remembered me.

Always.

Weather turned cold, fall has arrived.

Those nasty Giants got through the first round against the Reds.

Not sure which dog you have in this hunt.  LOL.

How about turning up the volume for today’s tune … enjoy.

            Smile.

 Link:  Guns 'N Roses: Sweet Child of Mine

She's got a smile it seems to me

Reminds me of childhood memories

Where everything

Was as fresh as the bright blue sky

Now and then when I see her face

She takes me away to that special place

And if I'd stare too long

I'd probably break down and cry

Oh, oh, oh

Sweet child o' mine

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies

As if they thought of rain

I hate to look into those eyes

And see an ounce of pain

Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place

Where as a child I'd hide

And pray for the thunder

And the rain

To quietly pass me by

Oh, oh, oh

Sweet child o' mine

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Sweet love of mine

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Sweet child o' mine

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Sweet love of mine

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Sweet child o' mine

Oh,

Sweet love of mine

Where do we go?

Where do we go now?

Where do we go?

Oh, oh

Where do we go?

Oh,

Where do we go now?

Where do we go?

Oh, (sweet child)

Where do we go now?

Oh,

Where do we go now?

Oh,

Where do we go?

Oh,

Where do we go now?

Oh,

Where do we go?

Where do we go now?

Where do we go?

Oh,

Where do we go now?

No, no, no, no, no, no

Sweet child,

Sweet child of mine.
